The loca tion of the air bag and warning labels
If a collision occurs, the sensors sense the severity of the impact
and activate the air bags if necessary. The air bag system is
designed to deploy in frontal and front-angled collisions more
severe than hitting a parked vehicle (of sim ilar size and weight)
head -on at abou t 28 mph (45 km / h). Because the system senses
the crash severity rather than vehicle speed , som e frontal
collisions at speed s above 28 mph (45 km / h) will not inflate the
air bag.
When the sensors activate the system , the air bags inflate
rap idly, filling with non-toxic nitrogen gas in a fraction of a
second . Immediately after inflation, the air bags deflate by
releasing the nitrogen gas throu gh vent holes. The whole
process takes place in a matter of second s.
